    Awesome work, Kevin. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it possible for all of us to follow in your footsteps. My plan for your excellent tutorial is to apply it to two immersive language learning courses I've struggled with. Immersive sounds important but it's meaningless. What it really means is that we'll find ourselves stuck in a language course where only the teacher was capable of understanding & translating the target language. The rest of us will have to guess meanings from the clues and contexts in the material, like a newborn infant. It takes thousands of incidental exposures to build a large vocab. And like me half the other students often only speak their native languages fluently. This is how languages should be taught. Bless you, Kevin.

    "unexpected indent" Just to point this out in case it happened to anyone else: When entering that code in the description, it kept failing, getting this "unexpected indent" nonsense. It drove me crazy for a while, but then I figured out the solution: just before the, " !sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg" part, was a blank character. Once I deleted that blank character (right before " !sudo......"), everything worked fine. Thanks Todd

    A bit off topic, but when I was playing around a Speak and Spell IC in the 1980s, I noticed that whispering really helped when trying to encode speech for the IC. Speak and Spell used linear predictive coding to synthesize speech. My analysis code could not handle voiced segments, but worked well on whispering. Back then it would take many hours to encode a couple of seconds of speech on my pitiful 8080 PC. Gotta say I am really impressed with the way speech technology has advanced over the years.

    Very informative. However a few things have changed since making this video. When changing runtime type you have two options to chose from now not shown in the video. You have to chose either Python3 or R from the runtime options. Then you can chose between CPU, T4-GPU, A100-GPU and V100-GPU or TPU. So far I tried picking Python3 and t4-GPU and it didn't give me any results. Are you using this, Have you seen this and what do you chose to get your results?

    Man, this is absolutely stunning! 😮 I've been working for years now trying to find a solution to accurately transcribe my voice. I suffer from muscular dystrophy, so my voice is really low. I've tried dozens of microphones, programs and interfaces but never found something as powerful and accurate as Whisper. It's completely unbelievable how it can be so accurate! I've tried to transcribe my worst-quality recordings and it got almost 100% accuracy every time, especially when using the "large" model which gives even more impressive results. Thank you very much for sharing and don't hesitate to give us more tips about speech recognition. it's getting better lately but there still is a lot of work to do. By the way, do you know any way to obtain a file without automatic line breaks in the .txt file? It gives me a lot of work to do after transcribing to format the text. (this whole paragraph has been transcribed using whisper ; 100% correct! And I'm french and speak english as a foreign language. And I've got a terrible sore throat killing my voice)

    Kevin, I am a big fan of yours. You explain every bit to us noobs very well. whenever, I am not understanding a topic I search for your videos and you often have better explanation of that. You are my inspiration to start a KZread channel like yours in my native language i.e Urdu. I just want to request that if you can teach us python like this that would be very helpful. Thanks Man !

    Hi again, I was wondering whether you would suggest new options nowadays to have (even live) audio transcribed faster with Whisper AI. Huggingface seems to offer some great ways to do that but I couldn't figure out what to do exactly. Also, is there a way to "batch process" multiple (small) audio files using Google Colab by a slight modification of the code above? Thank you!

This program is very accurate (90% plus). Btw, when will you be able to do a video on how to do translation? It would be most helpful since we are struggling with Google translate ;-) It's not bad but rather clumpsy with phrases (English to Vietnamese). Once again, much much appreciated of your help. Please keep on with the good work.

    Thank you very much, Kevin! This is such a big help to me. I don't know the precise accuracy I just experienced in using this Whisper AI method of transcription compared to my manual transcription I previously experienced, but if I were to guess I would give this something above 90% accuracy. Yes, there were some errors in the transcription. For example, the speaker would say, ". . . gonna," and Whisper AI transcribed it as, ". . . going to." Well, using the 80/20 rule, I think I can live with errors like that for the work I'm doing. Other errors were Whisper AI transcribed a word that either wasn't spoken by the speaker or did not transcribe a word spoken by the speaker. Still, 90%+ accuracy with accurate timestamps is a plus for me. What I like most is it saved me from spending $99 on a transcription subscription service. I've yet to find anything that can beat free! It was very easy to follow your instructions. You're clearly a gifted instructor. God bless you! Thank you for sharing!
